Ask at your library for an interlibrary loan (if they don't have it, and
they probably won't) of the book "Greenhouse Operation and Management". 
It is a textbook that is used in many colleges of horticulture.  I have
2 greenhouse, one in my backyard and one commercial nursery/greenhouse
and both are doublewalled inflated poly.  Increased R-value (equal to
twinwalled Lexan) but at a fraction of the cost.  The backysrd house has
had the same poly on for 5 years now.  It's functional, but is ready to
be changed.  Unfortunatly, I have no time.
Good luck.
